Qualcomm is still paying 'em, near as I can tell.

I know that the Qualcomm era for Eudora does not feel particularly 
productive, but if it were completely abandoned I think the clients 
would have stopped working a while ago. I've been seeing regular 
updates go by, features being added; yeah, not a very charged up 
context.

Looking at other mail clients, I think Apple has made progress with 
Mail. I know that there's a couple relatively new clients out there 
that at one time or another looked promising but I hear very little 
about. Which mail clients have progressed like gangbusters during the 
last five years? Does the Microsoft Outlook thing rule the roost?
